Since it's almost Halloween, I'm sure most will be watching lots of horror movies. So what are some of your favorites - what are some recent ones you've seen that are good? Recommend something!
-
Finally saw A Cabin In The Woods after all the hype, it was pretty cool.

Backing this. Thought that movie was going to be shit. It was not.
Recent horror movies are mostly shit. The ending of Insidious (the first one) gave me the creeps, but wasn't the best movie overall.
-
I fucking hate horror movies. But The Conjuring was really, really good.
-
My favorite thing about horror movies is that when you say "horror movie" it sounds like you're saying "whore movie"
-
"The Exorcist" is one of the scariest movies I've seen.
"House of the Devil" is a recent favorite. Ti West's other films are pretty good too.
"The Shining" is classic. I thought the first "V/H/S" was entertaining.
"American Mary" is pretty gruesome.
-
all the classics
martyrs is pretty wild
inside
if you wanna get high as shit and laugh and be disgusted at the same time, watch bad taste or dead alive
-

The concept was cool, but as far as a "horror" movie goes it was pretty laughable.
But that's just how I felt.
-
Slither and Tucker and Dale vs Evil. Both horror comedy. Both on Netflix.
-
"House of the Devil" is a recent favorite. Ti West's other films are pretty good too.
"House of the Devil" was fantastic.. one of my favorite modern horror films. never seen Ti West's others, i heard the Innkeepers was so so.
I know this could get me laughed out of the building but the new Evil Dead. try not to compare it to the original... basically it takes the story/concept of the original, takes out all the goofiness and AMPS up the gore; to holy shit levels at points. really, really good.
Insidious was great, although the end got a little too fantasy for me.
I watched that movie Sinister, with Ethan Hawke, which was pretty good (all these movies, like Conjuring/insidious/Sinister, are basically the same in tone and creepy imagery, and plot in some cases).
Also can't recommend Let The Right One In enough.. and the American counterpart Let Me In, which to me was just as good.
-

These come up a lot and I was considering watching Martyrs tonight or maybe House of the Devil.
I watched Dog Soldiers today and it was pretty good. I watched Teeth last night and it was pretty hilarious. I watched The Mist today, and once again didn't really enjoy it.
I didn't care too much for Cabin in the Woods either - the concept was clever and it was funny at times.
Also, not exactly a horror movie - more a crazy thriller - Kill List is worth a watch - the ending is pretty nuts.
-
Anyone seen Antichrist with Willem Dafoe? That movie had some bizarre shit in it. And the sex scene at the beginning had full penetration haha.
-
I 3rd House of the Devil. Not only is it my favorite modern horror movie, but it's one of the best horror movies that I have ever watched.
His other movies are very good, but not as incredible as this one.
I recently watched 1408 the other day. It was better than I expected. It'd be a good one to watch for Halloween.
The first three Friday the 13th movies, Halloween (original), Evil Dead II, etc.
The Shining is great, but I don't necessarily consider it to be a "horror movie," it's more along the lines of a psychological thriller.
If you're looking for "mind fuck" movies, check out Eraserhead or Begotten --- they're rough to watch if you aren't into art films. David Lynch is a fantastic director all around.

Just in case you didn't know and used to fuck with the Chuck, there's a new one out on DVD/blu ray tomorrow

I know this could get me laughed out of the building but the new Evil Dead. try not to compare it to the original... basically it takes the story/concept of the original, takes out all the goofiness and AMPS up the gore; to holy shit levels at points. really, really good.
I liked the new Evil Dead. Blood bursts toward the end had me laughing in the theater.
Drag Me To Hell was another good mix of horror/comedy
OG Omen is up there, but I just really like the look of horror films from the 70s
-
i fukk with rob zombie movies. the devils backbone/pans labyrinth are sick but not exactly horror. oldboy and i saw the devil too. i watched this japanese movie uzamaki when i was a kid about a town that all become obsessed with spirals, i bet it sucked but it was really creepy at the time and i still think about ityears later. not much worth seeing from the last 20 years though. the exorcist, the changeling, the shining, amityville horror, and all the classics if you havent yet.

I thought it was really really good and the original is one of my favorite movies ever. thank christ sam raimi and campbell were part of the production. without them i think they would have butchered the remake
-
Rosemary's Baby. Not exactly what most people think of when you say horror movie, but it paralyzed me with fear when I first saw it in my teens. One of my favourite movies period.
-
Some good picks here.
I can't back Cabin in the Woods for a second. I get what it was trying to do. I think it beats you over the head with what it was trying to do but I found the idea really dumb. The self aware, deconstruction of really obvious horror tropes didn't impress me at all. I hate the Scream series for similar reasons.
I can't recommend Martyrs enough. That movie delights in fucking with you and throwing you for a loop with every twist and turn.
Return of the Living Dead
Night, Dawn and Day of the Dead
V/H/S
The Fly
Zombie 2/ Zombi/ Zombie Flesh Eaters (This damn thing has a lot of alternate titles) It features a Zombie fighting a shark.
Ti West is doing some great work. His movies are a really burn but he actually gives a shit and puts time and thought into his characters.
The Exorcist of course but do yourself a favor and check out The Exorcist 3 as well.
Pieces
The Descent
REC
The Sentinel
Black Christmas
House on Haunted Hill (the original)
Sleepaway Camp (If only for the ending)
The Burbs (Its certainly not a horror film but it has a light hearted halloween feel)
Anyone seen Antichrist with Willem Dafoe? That movie had some bizarre shit in it. And the sex scene at the beginning had full penetration haha.
I believe that was a stunt cock.
-
watched The House of the Devil - it was soooo good! He really nailed the whole 70's looking horror flick - it was incredible. The tension building all the way through. Ya it ruled.
And I love The Burbs!
-
i watched strangers a few nights ago. that one was pretty good. i dont know if the purge would qualify as horror, but im going to rent that tonight.
i bought this at the movie store for a few bucks. story is alright, but the gore and torture is totally fucked up. its worth checking out.

house of 1000 corpses is great
Devils rejects was disapointing
-
house of 1000 corpses is great

Was just about to post this!! The ending in house of 1000 was so boss. Devils rejects had it's moments but wasn't hyped.
Cabin in the woods was fucking bad. Like really bad.
Thai horror is fucking rad. Art of the devil 2 is gnarly.
-
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is my all-time scariest
Last House On The Left is a close second, but first in terms of mere fucked up-ness. That's a movie I never need to watch again.
REC was great.
The Burbs is a classic!
Good to see House of the Devil get some love, that movie was great (but jocelyn donahue is mine!)
-
Exorcist as rokaudio said.
Probably In the monitory on this, but Halloween 3. So bad it's good.
The Return of the Living Dead
The serpent and the rainbow
-
This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse (1967) (Complete film) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYgdOyXR_CY#)
-
Drag me to Hell and the Descent are semi recent ones I really liked.

I am thrilled to see the burbs getting some love here! It isn't horror but it is seriously one of my favourite movies. When I'm staring at my shelves of DVD's and can't decide on what to watch I quite often say "Fuck it! The 'burbs again!" Because I know, no matter my mood I will enjoy the hell out of it.

This was bad and kept crumbling towards the end. The lead actress is Brad Dourif's daughter and looks like him with make-up and dyed hair.
This one qualifies as horror, I guess.

"The Thing" the original with Kurt Russell was a pretty awesome horror/sci-fi movie.

Indeed. The remake however should be avoided at all costs.
The original original, The Thing From Another World is a bit of fun too if you can get past the 1950's atomic age cheese.
-
I disagree about the Thing remake. I thought it was great. It's more of prequal than a remake
-
It's not exactly brooding and isolated like the Carpenter version.
-
The Thing (Kurt Russell one) is actually apart of a trilogy "the apocalypse trilogy" being the first part. Learned that yesterday...

Near Dark - one of the best non-dracula vampire movies ever. creepy and violent as hell (plus the Cramps in the soundtrack)
The Begotten, not really a scary movie... more art house but some of the creepiest imagery i've ever seen. shit stays in your head.
Re-Animator - okay not really that scary either, but probably my favorite gore movie.
In The Mouth of Madness was great.
Dead Alive, hilarious in an Evil Dead kind of way, but sillier and bloodier.
To those who were talking about Ti West... how was the "Innkeepers"? my friend said it was terrible but i've read good things too
-
not much i dislike from the golden era of horror but here are some recommendations:
Re Animator
Prince of Darkness
Phantasm
From Beyond
Videodrome
Near Dark
They Live
The Gate
The Beyond
Zombi 2
Night of the Creeps
Street Trash
Suspiria
any Romero Dead film
as far as new ones that were pretty rad:
Hatchet
VHS
Feast
The Descent
Rec
The Collector
Cabin in the Woods
Martyrs
As far as the new Chucky goes, shit was pretty wack that he was completely computer generated, but the story was decent and the scene after the credits ALMOST made up for the bad parts.

SUSPSIRIA
Suspiria International Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB4u6qC_ORE#)
everything about this movie kills...from the plot, to the lighting, to the soundtrack, to the shots...its straight art
i watched it baked out of my mind first, and was blown away. the movie is incredible, horror genre aside. i watched it the next day a second time totally sober and was still floored. gonna track down the dario argentos other work now.

I really liked it. It is a very slow burn much like The House of the Devil, maybe even slower and this may be what puts some people off. Also the pay off may not be as strong as House of the Devil, even so I was still really into it every step of the way.

I never would have had the slightest inkling the apocalypse trilogy was a thing until I looked it up, still the movies are pretty solid. The Thing is great of course, Prince of Darkness I agree is very underrated and I loved in the Mouth of Madness. Do you read Sutter Cane?

Begotten is pretty creepy to me story and visual wise. looked it up and it too is apart of an unofficial trilogy..also I like near dark. Good film.
@noileum yes I realize they're not directly connected, but apart of a TRILOGY none the less, bro.

Watched the Conjuring last night... pretty fucking awesome. The only thing that threw me was the dad, who was played by the guy from Office Space; so every time he talked i just couldn't help but think of that movie.
Other than that, fantastic.
-
One of my favorites is Phantasm 2, part one is also good.
Evil Dead original
Exorcist was really creepy
The Shining
Halloween
Friday the 13th part 2
Nightmare on Elm street
28 days later
-
Grave of the Vampire (1972) - B Movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX4Aa0Ajs8M#)
-
Session 9 was really fucking creepy.
-
Bad Milo - which is more of a comedy than horror but it's pretty funny
-
i just watched the conjuring it was fucking regular.
-
Session 9 was really fucking creepy.
Fuck yeah!!!! I fucking love that movie. I always ask people what they thought of it but no one has head of it.
It is creepy.
-
Session 9 was really fucking creepy.
It was very unsettling. There's a mashup of all of the sessions in one video on youtube... It's fucking hard to watch.
Offbeat movie. It was a lot better than I expected.
-
I watched The Hunger last night. It was incredible.
-
horror is the best...but not into the shock, who can think of the worst way to kill/maim someone horror (i.e. Saw I-XXXXIV)...more of the "classic" stuff i.e. Exorcist, Shining, etc. everyone has mentioned.
will check out the Conjouring, as that reads like more of the classic "chills/creepy" sorta movie. what other recent (last 5 years) stuff is along those lines? there's nothing worse than getting yourself psyched to watch a horror movie and then having it be terrible, and not funny-b-movie terrible, just plain terrible.
as far as Zombies are concerned...i'm pretty classic as well. Romero-style slow-walkers are the way to go. I think Walking Dead does a good job...but not into the World War Z running maniac style (although the book is one of my favorites...mainly because follows the classic rules). Shaun of the Dead is also a perfect Zombie movie, despite the comedy.
Dale & Tucker was good.
I give a pass to 28 Days/Weeks Later because they were done so well otherwise.

saw halloween and nightmare on elm st at the drive in on saturday night. halloween is so great. nightmare on elm street kinda sucks seeing it as an adult.

Besides a couple of cool moments that movie has aged badly. Number 3 is still pretty good.

Not everybody agrees with me and the ending is a little eh but I thought Jacob's Ladder was tight.
(http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jacobs-ladder-1990-poster.jpg)
Second/third/whatever Suspiria. Some really unique and fantastical horror and the movie is just beautiful.
House is hilarious but also a bit too fucked up to dismiss being haunted with disturbing images. Watch it with friends.

My brother, you are high as a kite, that movie scarred me
Story was straight and the effects wouldn't allow me to sleep, the type of movie where watching it once is enough
...and for the record it was a prequel
Besides that and V/H/S, I haven't really seen a "horror" flick I could really vibe with lately, "Eyes wide shut" is no horror movie but it'll definitely get to you with how real it and deep it goes...if you recognize the imagery within it that is

agree on silent hill. few times id be stoned playing it and get freaked out! mind you this was when i was living at my uncles and he used to creep on my friends and offer them wine. he was buff and gay as fuck.

^yup

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil was amazing!

And "It" always scared the shit outta me. That fucking clown.

I find it funny when people are scared by supernatural forces like The Exorcists, because I simply don't believe in them whatsoever (possessed by the flying spaghetti monster?).
Gore, on the other hand, is quite real (if done professionally) and it makes me sick.

I 3rd House of the Devil. Not only is it my favorite modern horror movie, but it's one of the best horror movies that I have ever watched.
His other movies are very good, but not as incredible as this one.
I recently watched 1408 the other day. It was better than I expected. It'd be a good one to watch for Halloween.
The first three Friday the 13th movies, Halloween (original), Evil Dead II, etc.
The Shining is great, but I don't necessarily consider it to be a "horror movie," it's more along the lines of a psychological thriller.
If you're looking for "mind fuck" movies, check out Eraserhead or Begotten --- they're rough to watch if you aren't into art films. David Lynch is a fantastic director all around.
Eraserhead was horrible, I guess I'm not into "art films" because that shit was rough indeed, 15 minutes and I tapped out
A Halloween/Fall favorite of mine has always been an American Werewolf in London and they always show it on the tele at one point or another and I'm kinda bummed that I haven't seen it this year, I'd love to own a physical copy or a copy period just to peep it whenever I want, plus it seems like the type of movie to have scenes they had to cut out on tv because they were too graphic or something

I don't believe either but if the movie is good enough I will believe for its duration. Thats where the fun lies.

I agree with you about Eraserhead. I've endured it's entirety. But, there's no way I could have done it without surfing the net on the side. It made Dune look like Kane.
Watched The Conjuring last night. Best horror I've seen in a while.

I forgot to bring up Altered States. The atmosphere is more sci-fi than you might be looking for around halloween season, but it's one of the more intelligent horror movies I've seen. It operates on a psychological/hallucinogenic/philosophical/anthropological level. Seriously. Just watch. It's also one of my favorite movie posters.

Watched Carrie from the 70s, it was cool, when I was young I remember seeing some 90s version where it was kind of mixed in with She's All That and the dude taking her to prom falls in love with her forreal but she doesn't realize it until she kills dam near everybody, I think it was done to follow that teen movie bullshit that was running rampant after the late 80s and reached it's climax a decade later
Some shit in the OG had me laughing though, like how the teacher just straight slaps the shit out of one of her students and nobody does shit about it lol, the opening scene had me cringing sooo bad too

Just rewatched texas chainsaw massacre again. It's definitely a classic but there's one scene that I just dont get and makes me say "REALLY? WTF?" You know the scene when she's running away from leatherface and she runs into that trucker guy and he pulls her into the truck and closes the door but instead of driving the fuck outta there, they just go out the other door and run. Am I missing something or is it just a dumb movie mistake?

There’s different tiers for horror movies....
Thrillers
Boo scares/slashers
Depressing vibes
Or creepy themes
Shock campy fucked up issues
Dario Argento Suspiria
I liked that aristocratic flick Saló or 120 days of sodom
The VVITCH was great
Anything that’s not overhyped I’m psyched for.
-
did anyone watch hereditary? that was pretty creepy.

In search of darkness is a great documentary my friend is involved with and it’s on a go fund me.

Anyone that's never seen it should out Ghostwatch.
In retrospect it's pretty tame but as a 10 year old it was terrifying.
Back then no one knew if it was legit or not, some kid killed himself just after the show.
Everyone you knew apparently knew someone who had lived in the haunted treet.
It was like Blair Witch before Blair Witch.
The BBC vowed never to show it again.

Without differentiating too much between subcategories...
I'm a horror nut, and I love collecting video tapes of horror movies. The older ones aren't gory, but you may dig them if you enjoy scenic horror. Tod Browning's "Dracula" starring Bela Lugosi is absolutely recommended. While you're at it, double down with "The Corpse Vanishes" -- also starring Bela. Then get a little freaky with George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead". Crispy black and white with a sick twist.
A new batch of tapes I ordered (after putting it off for so long, cause I hate internet shopping ... alas) off Ebay includes a copy of the original Exorcist movie. I can't wait to pop that one in the VCR. Add that one to the list while you're at it. Lastly, check out Michele Soavi's "The Church" for a spooky blend of scenic and fucked up. It's from 1989 and has a wicked score. Hopefully I get that on tape one day.
Cheers, shalom, and Happy Halloween!

I'm a MASSIVE Vincent Price fan, so his old horror films/psychological thrillers have always been my favorites.
Some of my favorites include:
1. The Last Man on Earth
2. The Abominable Dr. Phibes
3. The Bat
4. Masque of the Red Death
5. House on Haunted Hill

Without differentiating too much between subcategories...
I'm a horror nut, and I love collecting video tapes of horror movies. The older ones aren't gory, but you may dig them if you enjoy scenic horror. Tod Browning's "Dracula" starring Bela Lugosi is absolutely recommended. While you're at it, double down with "The Corpse Vanishes" -- also starring Bela. Then get a little freaky with George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead". Crispy black and white with a sick twist.

Dude, have you seen Carnival of Souls?
Looking at your recommendation it might be right up your alley.

did anyone watch hereditary? that was pretty creepy.
Loved Herdeitary, loved Midsommar.
Anything Guillermo Del Toro has had involvement in is good. Not necessarily actually scary but good films: Cronos, The Orphanage, Devil’s Backbone.
Conjuring is good, the spin-offs can be pretty shit (The Nun. More like TheNone amiright?)
Sinister was not bad, not flawless but I enjoyed it.
Netflix’s Haunting of Hill House was good, definitely exceeded expectations.
As mentioned above, Event Horizon.
I’ve seen a lot, let’s talk horror movies

Has anyone bothered checking out the latest Chucky? I know it's old news by now but I got reminded of it the other day and Aubrey Plaza being on it makes me want to watch it but I cant see it being that good.
-
Watched this the other night. It was so-so, but the title takes it.

I watched The Autopsy of Jane Doe a few hours ago and it gave me a good scare in a few scenes.
I'd recommend it if you're into the paranormal and a bit of jump scare action.
-
Us and Get Out are good.
The Woman in Black is one of my favorites from recent years.
Castle Rock, a series on Hulu, was great.
-
Not a huge horror fan myself, but my buddy who is recommended "Terrified" to me. Apparently it's some crazy Argentinean film that will make you sleep with the lights on.

I always get disappointed by things like that, i havent been scared by a movie in years and years so i like the idea of a film getting to me but everytime i watch something thats meant to be terrifying, it dosent quite do the job
-
And "It" always scared the shit outta me. That fucking clown.
Everyone's bummed on the remake and I for one think it was great, yeah it could've been better holding it truer to the book albeit the 50's and 80's and somehow subtly implied the losers club orgy . Also the Patrick Hockstetter Henry Bowers sexual tension with Patrick's dead animals fetish, would have given his gang some backstory.
Also Christine makes a brief cameo in the book too

Jump scares are the antithesis of horror, they appeal to the lowest common denominator.

The Shining is my favorite horror classic.
How about that movie the Hills have eyes or whatever that shit was too creepy

I watched Midsommar last night and am 100% convinced my wife would put me in a bear suit and choose me.
She didn't deny it.

Massive fan of giant monster horror:
The Relic, Crawl, Deep Rising, Anaconda, Alligator, Q The Winged Serpent.
Love that cheese.
Also anything wit people trapped and turning/not trusting each other:
The Thing, Crash and Burn, The Station.

Not a lot of love for the Final Destination movies, huh?
Sure, they're fucking stupid, but that's what great about them. I love watching those brats get beheaded, or burned alive, or impaled by something.
They're not something to watch in the dark and think about for hours after they're over, but me and my friends always had a tradition to see the new ones in the theater when they came out and we had a blast watching them.
And for the same reason, the Scream movies are fun. I don't know if I'd rewatch the sequels over and over, but as a whole the series is great for what it is.
How about creepy documentaries? I really LOVE the Paradise Lost trilogy. It's not horror but it's quite gruesome at times and some of the "characters" are quite scary. And last I heard, Damien Echols was living in Salem so he's definitely horror adjacent. It's a good halloween season documentary.

I think I'm very much in the minority when I say that I absolutely LOVE the Saw movies.
The first Saw movie was/is one of the best horror/thriller movies of the last 20 years.

Brought this up in the Netflix thread awhile back, but Terrifier is the best creepy clown slasher movie I’ve seen in possibly ever. There’s apparently a sequel in production to be released in 2020.

See I’ll agree they should’ve stopped at Saw 2 but that’s just me.
I like creepy movies and found footage films but shock and torture style movies aren’t my cup of tea.
Someone came over a few years back at my old house Helms Deep and had a stack of movies. A few of them were sketchy as fuck either really good snuff films or legit I don’t know and that turd of a movie Serbian Film.
I watched first 20 minutes of it and told the dude to get the fuck outta my house, I’m all for spooky stuff and scary movies but fictionalized CP or rape scenarios I’m not going to tolerate at my house!
btw I have been having a monster/horror movie night every Friday and Saturday night during the month of Oct.

If you like found footage stuff checkout a Australian film called "The Magician".
Not really horror, it's a doco about a guy who follows a Melbourne hitman around.
Well worth a look.

I've been doing specific directors all through Oct. Started w Argento - Suspiria obviously, but I fucking LOVE Inferno and Tenebre. Deep Red and Demons as well.
Then I did all the Carpenter movies, he's probably my favorite director of all time. He captures something nuanced and cutty, campy at times but really amazing music and cinematography. The Thing, THE FOG (probably my favorite of his), Halloween 1-3, Big Trouble In Little China, Escape from NY/LA (EfLA is so fun) and some others I'm forgetting. I really can't put my finger on what it is exactly about John Carpenter but his movies just seem like a dream or something.
Clive Barker's Hellraiser series. He's another dude than manages to capture something incredibly surreal and hellish while also maintaining a dreamlike quality.
David Cronenberg/David Lynch - The Fly and Videodrome matched with Mulholland Dr and Blue Velvet. Again, not all strictly horror movies but unsettling non the less.
Some other random ones I watched were Santa Sangre, which I fucking loved but wasn't really a horror movie per say. Event Horizon was great. Gothic was a great "get stoned and watch" (along with Santa Sangre.) Scream first then immediately after Scary Movie. Something about Scary Movie is perfect humor for me. Fart jokes etc.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre because a friend had never seen it. Movie is still fucking terrifying. Reminds me of the trailer park I grew up in.
Going to watch some classic slashers tonight (Mad Man, Friday 13th pt 2, Sleepaway Camp and og Maniac)

I just loved how the later films in the series involved people that had been around since the first few films, and they were all basically happening at the same time.
But the first movie is one of my favorite movies of all time.

-Amityville Horror 2: The Possession
-Prison
-Nightmare on Elm Street 3
We had fun.

3 From Hell is up on Youtube. Watch it before it gets taken down!
Edit: I started to watch it and the video is definitely fucked up (I've seen the actual movie a number of times already). The editing is funky. But.....it's watchable.

I always enjoy The People Under the Stairs this time of the year. It's not really scary or particularly gorey, and there are few plot holes but it's one of the more fun Wes Craven movies that tends to get overlooked. If you're a Twin Peaks fan, you'll recognize Big Ed and Nadine right away, those two really make the flick. It also has the pitcher from the SandLot and the girl with the mole on her face from My So Called life.

That's a good one too I remember finding that VHS tape in a thrift store that's been a gem in my stash of movies as of late. The trailer scared the shit outta me as a kid, still a creepy movie if you think about it.
Ed and Nadine make great psychopaths I think this was their best and notable work post original Twin Peaks.
-
Speaking of Wes Craven, I saw New Nightmare for the first time recently.
I didn't know it was gonna be a meta take on the series, didn't really love it.
Been watching a lot of Cronenberg movies lately.
The Fly for like the fifth time, & Crash, History of Violence, and Eastern Promises all for the first time.
Not sure if this is a hot take, but Dead Ringers is my favorite of his, and I think Scanners (besides a couple head explosion scenes) was kinda bad.

Ed and Nadine are so good! I always sort of wonder about there being some Dom/Sub/Incest weirdness between them because of the gimp suit. Not that I love all the reboots coming out in hollywood right now, but I think Jordan Peele could give us a really awesome take on this one, already looking forward to his vision for Candyman. Speaking of Candyman, thats obviously another horror classic for this time of the year, great score, Tony Todd, and Virginia Madsen's tits!

New Nightmare isn't too bad, gotta look at it as practice for Scream which is obviously fucking awesome. I think Drew Barrymore's death in Scream is so fucking raw and graphic, one of the harder to watch death scenes in any horror movie. I've actually never seen The Fly but I'm really thinking I should check it out, I've seen some screen shots here and there...and man, it looks pretty gnarly

Just finished 3 from hell, meghhh I could've not seen it and felt the same way. It was okay at best I get what this Director is doing and it seems a bit too try hard. He's channeling Robert Rodriguez and Tarantino and it sucks.
Stick to what you know and that's shitty music btw this is the same D-bag that was pissing and moaning about a skate park being too close to his house at night.
Btw it has Pancho Moler as well in it, before you ask yes Think Pancho Moler.

Just finished 3 from hell, meghhh I could've not seen it and felt the same way. It was okay at best I get what this Director is doing and it seems a bit too try hard. He's channeling Robert Rodriguez and Tarantino and it sucks.

It was a decent at best and again I cannot stress this enough. It seemed too forced and contrived it should've ended at Devils Rejects.

Ok most of this is recent and streamable
Good and creepy:
The Witch
Creep and a Creep 2
The Devils Candy
A Dark Song
More funny than scary but good:
Crush the Skull
Deathgasm
Cabin in the woods
Insidious/Conjuring/Annabelle and all those are from the same camp and pretty good
The Ritual was decent
-
has anyone seen sleepwalkers? it's funnier and campier than it is scary but it's worth watching.

Just watched an intense psychological thriller out of Austria called Goodnight Mommy.
I highly recommend checking it out.
The actress that played the mother, Susanne Wuest, actually had her face superglued and let a cockroach crawl into her mouth.

This movie is so good and creepy.
Maybe look into Ecoute the French movie, there's a great old school scare scene.
On a kinda horror movie note, I was flying interstate last night with the missus (who piss scared of flying) and just as we're taxiing to the runway I stupidly turn and say:
"You know what I'm gonna watch when I get home? Final Destination"
What was I thinking?

You should definitely watch Goodnight Mommy though. Honestly one of the best films I've watching in a while.

Real confession: I think the original theatrical version of Midsommar is a better overall movie than the director's cut
-
Any love for Michael Haneke?
Funny Games is probably his most popular, Cache is good but The White Ribbon is just fucking stunning.
More uneasy than straight horror, plus is looks absolutely amazing.
Also Ben Wheatley, A Field in England, Sightseers, Down Terrace and The Kill List are all worth tracking down.

I once sat next to fairly nice, jittery ol fella who during the course of a long flight did and said some bizarre things. One of those things was the decision to watch the near plane disaster movie Sully to calm his nerves. I remember durning some scene of general panic during the movie he turned to me with headphones in, a mouth full of pretzels and wide eyed exclaimed, “This is GREAT!” (pointing to his monitor).
Also, I watched Goodnight Mommy. Liked it a lot. That bed scene at the end is a doozy. The whole flick leaves you questioning everything. The forests of Germany/Austria look magical.

So over the weekend i watched two horror flicks. In the tall grass on netflix, i thought it was pretty good, some things kinda confused me toward the end but overall i liked the idea of it. I also checked out that movie called Open house, thought it was great until the end when it just pissed me off, nothing was explained, the killer was never seen/no motive shown, it actually irritated me so much cause the idea was good but in the end just huge disappointment.

i'm pretty big into horror. posting this just in the offchance that someone finds it helpful to get some atmospheric horror recommendations. if any of you are into Lovecraft/short films (not Reddit's idea of Lovecraft), check out AM1200 (full film at this link):
http://www.vimeo.com/102372269
it's well done, i saw it at a film festival in Vancouver years ago and it ended up being my favourite thing that premiered that weekend. Ray Wise from Twin Peaks acts in it, it's ~40 minutes long or so.
here's a horror sync-tube type channel/community i used to frequent: https://cytu.be/r/TheSpooks . there's usually a few people in there at any given time and it's got a huge library of horror to choose from

I rented Ready or Not the other night, more of a dark comedy/thriller than straight horror but it has a great premise, & was decently executed but overall could have been better. I was hoping it was more like You're Next which is one of my favorites of the last decade.

Not exactly horror but I re-watched Jurassic Park Fallen Kingdom today and you can't half tell that it's directed by a horror director, especially the second half in the mansion.

Finally got a chance to see The Shining in theaters (4k restored and Dolby Atmos, nonetheless) and HOLY FUCK it was like watching it for the first time. God damn that movie is perfect.
Also, not horror, but if you haven't seen Green Room you're missing one of the better thrillers from the past couple of years.

Anton Yelchin, sad as he was genuinely talented and I've heard a really nice guy.
He went to open the gate on his property and left his car in gear. It rolled down and pinned him.
He was there for hours. No one noticed until he hadn't shown up for a Star Trek read through later in the day.

On his way to band practice no less.
I heard it was due to a known fault with the model of SUV he owned but I have nothing to substantiate that.
In any case, I saw La Llorona the other night (part of the Conjuring universe) and it was halfway decent.
There’s a certain pro skater who I was surprised to see makes a cameo early on. I’ll give you a hint: his name starts with a P and ends with a Rod.

Backing this. Thought that movie was going to be shit. It was not.
Recent horror movies are mostly shit. The ending of Insidious (the first one) gave me the creeps, but wasn't the best movie overall.
Cabin in the Woods is a lot more fun if you've read your share of HP Lovecraft over the years. Fun movie.

Rosemary's Baby. Not exactly what most people think of when you say horror movie, but it paralyzed me with fear when I first saw it in my teens. One of my favourite movies period.
Its a fuckin classic. Some movies will always stand the test of time, even if they were made by creeps who had sex with underage girls.

Save yourself and don't watch part 2 of the remake. Or, just watch the first 5-10 minutes (after the opening scene). The remaining run time is exactly like that.

I really didn't care for the OG "It". I thought any moment when Tim Curry was on screen was brilliant, but he's not in it all that much and a lot of the other actors were brutal. Terribly dated, I thought.
Watched Nightmare on Elm St recently, thought it was great.
Watched The Fly yesterday. Really revolting, but in a way that was scary.
Trying to work up the nerve to watch Child's Play, but I don't think I ever fully got over being afraid of Chucky when I was a kid.

Did you watch the Vincent Price "The Fly" or Jeff Goldblum "The Fly"? I like both for different reasons.
Nightmare on Elm St back in the day ruined a week's worth of sleep for me, but my kids have watched so much horror that they didn't get freaked out at all.

This is one of my guilty pleasure movies, yea it's got some pretty bad scenes that should have gone the practical effects route but the ending when the original music kicks in always gives me chills.

House of 1000 Corpses is an all-time favorite of mine, I watch it every year around Holloween time. No idea why I love it so much, it just has the right amount of silly campiness and interesting production design to make it entertaining. I think people miss out on how self-aware the movie actually is.
Yes, it is derivative of grindhouse and its characters are cliche but if you expected some earth-shattering reimagination of horror films from the likes of Rob Zombie then you are watching the wrong movie. I'll admit the movie can be a hyper-stylized mess at times but honestly sometimes I'm in the mood to watch something that is dumb and fun and doesn't try to make you think anything deeper beyond its surface-level presentation.

Doctor Sleep was OK. Nothing too spectacular, but my wife and I enjoyed it for what it was.
If you haven't seen A Quiet Place then I recommend that over Dr. Sleep.

Some of my other favourites are The Blair Witch Project, Hellraiser 2, Evil Dead trilogy, The Shining. Also, Shaun Of The Dead is more of a horror/comedy but it's one of my favourites too haha. I love Halloween!
-
we thought Doom Eternal was trash, its iTe, not that good but decent enought dat wer playing iT p
-
I watched Swallow the other day.
Very good film and awesome performance from Haley Bennett.
More of a thriller, but there is a body-horror element there that maybe because I’m a slight hypochondriac, got under my skin for sure though.
Great cinematography too.
8/10 would watch again in the future.
-
I watched 1BR with my housemates the other day without knowing anything about the movie. I was pretty surprised by how unsettling and well made it was at certain parts.
I also finally watched Trick r' Treat with my partner too and I loved that one. It was the perfect amount of camp for me.
-
We’ll it’s the season and I watched Children of the Corn the other night. It was actually better than I remembered it.

Time to re-activate the ol’ Shutter account. I’m so picky when it comes to horror though I end up scrolling forever until I lose patience and pick something I’ve already seen.

Anyone seen skinamarink or infinity pool this month?
-
Tis the season. What’re y’all watching? I’ve almost put Skinamarink on a few times but havn’t committed yet. The Fall of the House of Usher series has been alright.
-
skinamarink sucks, do not get the hype behind that one at all, but i think “analog horror” type stuff is corny in general
i watched v/h/s 85 yesterday because i stayed at the house one of the segments was filmed in (the VII family), actually one of the better of the v/h/s series which is comprised of mostly stinkers
watched saw x not knowing it takes place between 1 and 2, then i went to rewatch the rest and gave up after V, but i’ll probably resume and watch the rest because i’m a completist (it also helps to have a job that allows me to sit through hours of straight dreck while i work)
the best thing i’ve seen this season was a compilation of horror trailers in 35mm at the theater. after the trailer for snakes on a plane played this guy a few seats down from me cheered and said “so epic” and i was like damn i wish i was him
-
Infinity Pool and Pearl are two Mia Goth movies that I don't feel like I read much about and would highly recommend to anyone.
The Vanishing is also a top notch recommendation.
The Brood is a great one that feels extra close to the Halloween vibes vs maybe the others above.
Gonna rewatch Halloween III, most hate it cause it's not Mike Myers but I can't help but fuckin love this one each year
-
Saw Barbarian the other day because people had been talking it up on Reddit. I thought it was pretty meh.
Saw the 2nd half of Wolf Creek about a month after seeing the 1st (I catch a lot of stuff on “broadcast” streaming like Pluto TV).
It’s funny because my impression of the first half was that it was run of the mill and the villain was a creep but also a buffoon. The events of the 2nd half and implied violence offscreen made him actually rather terrifying.
-
Bone tomahawk is pretty ok for something with a different type of setting than standard horror
Also just happened to watch the twilight zone nightmare at 20,000 feet which obviously isn't a movie but a nice efficient little classic horror story
-
Talk to Me. I dug it.
-
The ritual on Netflix was pretty good overall, definitely some spooky moments. Reminded me of Blair witch project.
-
Would recommend catching When Evil Lurks in theaters if its playing around you. Horror flick of the year for me. Crushingly bleak, immaculately crafted.
-
so far this month i watched Alien 3, Land of the Dead, Undead and Seed of Chucky.
not really a lineup to be proud of..

Honestly you inspired me to watch seed of chucky tonite lol
Pretty nostalgic movie it’s going to be so much worse than I remember.
-
Saw x is streamable. If you have a vpn , not a bad idea . scary movie is a great idea or the second one. The lighthouse isn’t necessarily a halloween movie but it fits the vibe . El dia de la bestia is a Spanish movie about a priest trying to stop this anti christ being born and he befriends a metal head who works in a record shop and a tv psychic to help find the location of where it will happen, it feels like a Simon pegg movie made in the 90’s it’s a bit long but pretty good it’s on tubi or YouTube

Totally true about Cronenberg. He's not far behind John Carpenter for me.
I'll also recommend Hour of the Wolf if you wanna dive into some old Ingmar Bergman. Loved it and a bit more traditionally creepy vs the wild ride that Persona is

@matt_2993 Halloween 3 I’ll always have a soft spot… always thought the idea was cool. The ambiguous ending….App they were gonna do a different story every Halloween film going forward.

I’ll check that out, haven’t seen it.
Carpenter is maybe my favorite, but if anyone hasn’t seen it, the anthology “masters of horror” has one hour shorts by some great directors including carpenter (his stars Norman redus of walking dead and is insane and good). It’s such a fun collection, and if you like one you can always see what else that director did. Available on tubi free I believe.
The series continued under another name after two seasons “fear itself” and those are on YouTube.
Don’t think you could make it through all that before Halloween.
-
Wasn’t Carpenter’s entry “Pro-Life”? I don’t remember much about it except thinking it was tonally very strange. Like, there was a semi realistic abortion discussion (that maybe favored or at least gave serious consideration to the pro-life side?) and then there was a demonic monster of some sort?

I forgot about that one, with Ron Perlman maybe? Yeah not that good, I was talking about “cigarette burns” from the first season about a snuff film.
Sounds weird to say, but I liked the snuff film one not the abortion clinic one.

add to that Alien Resurrection, Predator, Nightmare on Elm Street 5, and The Night Flyer
gotta say a actually really enjoyed The Night Flyer. had never heard of it, found the dvd in a thrift store a year ago and was dreading to watch it since it looked so bad.
i think i'm saving Halloween and Hell Night for actual halloween.

prince of darkness is the one where the blood runs to the seeling of a church or somethung in one scene right? gotta be honest, i dont remember much as i saw it like 15 years ago. but that scene made me realize how much i love oldschool practical effects.
-
Check out night of the Demons for some fun practical effects as well.
Also dead and buried 1983 is pretty sweet, Dan obannon wrote it, writer of alien.
-
I’m watching Ouija Witch with Sean Young from Blade Runner fame so you don’t have to.
It’s as good as some of the first season Creepshow segments on Shudder. Like a Hallmark Christmas movie but for Halloween horror.
-
I watched Speak No Evil last night and I guess you could say it’s not a feel good movie lol. It’s really hard to suspend disbelief when watching it, though.
-
There are no recent good horror flicks.Let's face it.

There are but you'll never find them with that kind of outlook. You just have to watch them.
I enjoyed some scenes from It Lives Inside and the story and acting was good.
Five Nights at Freddy's was good if you're a tween or want horror lite for your kids. Otherwise, pass on it.
edit: Last Voyage of the Demeter was intense especially since I was in the navy so it was more relatable for me. Very good cast.

Think it's also just a tuf genre for some people. If you've already seen a bunch of horror movies and it's not really the kind of thing that scares you it can all feel a bit samey.
Watched final destination 1 & 2 recently they're still pretty ok. Not scary or anything but interesting concept and really good effects (mostly). Feel like that's a franchise they could do a new one for
-
I'm in total agreement.
It gets harder to get scared so I try to at least watch them in complete darkness and punch up the surround. I just let my belief get suspended and do my best to get sucked into the world on the screen instead of trying to poke holes in everything. I leave my critiques for later.
I figure dudes putting out independent horror nowadays are as big a fan of this genre (or bigger) as I am so why deprive myself of the experience a fellow horror addict is putting out.
I want to get scared not be that dude that goes to a Halloween Haunted House to be like "y'all ain't scary."
I really hope someone does more Final Destination movies since I'm a fan of the entire series even the cornier ones. It's just good fun.
-
i never felt like getting scared was ever a must for horror movies. i havnt been scared of a movie since i watched "It" when i was like 7 and already scared of clowns. to me horror movies where about unique stories, locations, sets, atmospheres, special effects, camera work. but also sometimes just mindless fun and gore. they allways facinited me more than other movies from a very young age.
there is indeed mostly crap being released these days. especially anything mainstream.
recent film i saw and liked was A New Religion. came out last year, saw it at a festival a fiew weeks ago.

-
I was always afraid of the dark and had an overactive imagination. My first horror movie memory is watching The Exorcist behind a pillow terrified out of my mind at the age of six. I've been chasing that high forever.
-

It's on Shudder, so kind of a hidden gem, but When Evil Lurks fucking ripped. Some sequences where really brutal, but served the story..
-
Watched Event Horizon for the first time last night. Haven't felt that on-edge watching anything in a very long time.
-
Just watched the version of "The Mummy" with Tom Cruise, it sucks pretty bad.
-
I watched Talk to Me recently which I really dug. Highly recommend a look.
It got me thinking that not watching many horror films growing up has left me with a bit of a gap in pop culture knowledge. I saw that The Exorcist was playing at our small local cinema on Halloween so went along. Pretty rad. I dug the music, makeup and dialogue the girl would yell whilst possessed
I've decided that I'm going to try and catch up on some other classics and have since also watched Halloween and the original 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Holy shit, TCM was fucking nuts. One of, if not the most intense films I've ever seen of any genre.
I'm thinking about watching Hellraiser next but am open to suggestions if anyone has any.
-
last week i watched Halloween, Hell Night, House of Blood (aka Chain Reaction), Army Of Darkness and Blood Sucking Freaks.
Hell Night i remembered to be a halloween flick, but it turned out it was just a costume party. still a cool movie.
House of Blood i had no idea what i was getting into. while the acting is horrible it's much more enjoyable than like Wrong Turn or The Hills Have Eyes wich kinda follow similiar stories, tho this one takes it to some next level absurd.
the practical effects are masterfully done. makes me wanna check some more Olaf Ittenbach movies. my friend recomemded me Premutos. but i couln't find it with subtitles. i can understands a little german, so maybe i'll give it a shot without.
Bloodsucking Freaks is a notorious movie. hadn't seen it yet but known about it for ages cause of the story the director send the unrated version to the cinemas instead of the rated version that was heavily cut. allways tought it to be a funny story,
now the movie is honestly not worth a watch if you ask me. definitly not for more casual watchers.
the mediocre acting and cheap outdated special effects i dont mind, but holy fuck the sound design in this movie is maybe the worst i've ever heard.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is sick. definitly one of the best of the best. wanna rewatch it now.
for suggestions just don't skip The Thing. but definitly watch the first 2 hellraisers to
i have the opposite. i watched so many horror as a kid. that now as a grown up i get confused when people dont know what im talking about cause i just assume everyone watched those movies.
Watched Event Horizon for the first time last night. Haven't felt that on-edge watching anything in a very long time.
great one! love the setting. those flasing scenes towards the end i'll never forget.

ROTLD and the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead are my go-to "comfort" horror movies.
Maybe add TCM 2 and The Shining.
-
1974 Texas Chainsaw really has a heavy vibe to it. The cinematography conveys a creepy atmosphere. Are there any other similar horror films you’d recommend that has a similar vibe?
I loved TCM 2, although it is much more fun and not as scary as it’s predecessor. Any time that character would use the fork to itch his scalp, sure would make me flinch a bit

Haven't watched it in forever but an English movie called mum and dad might kinda have that same Texas chainsaw feeling.

I remember seeing it at the dollar cinema late 90s? Ish as a kid… urban legend around here in Texas was it was based on true events. But Apparently it’s based on Ed Gein…
Still gives me the creeps all these years later… same with the original Exorcist.
-
Agree on watching The Thing. If you can, watch the remastered version because somehow the additional clarity given to the gnarliest scenes special effects look even better instead of dated. It had me shook all over again.
One of my fun favorites that doesn’t get mentioned enough is Idle Hands.
Also, I am partial to the first two The Omen movies.
-
Has anyone else watched The Mist in black and white?
Forgot a recent slasher movie I saw. Maniac (I watched the uncut version). Elijah Wood makes one hell of creepy dude.

The OG 1982.
I might be in the minority of those that enjoyed the 2011 prequel. It was interesting for me to see how well they connected the two.

when i saw the 2011 version it wasnt untill the the very end i realized it was a prequel. that insane relevation made the movie for me. now the problem is. if you go into it knowing it is. it lacks that surprise effect.
its cool they respected the OG enought to still do a lot with animatronics in the new version. woudvle been dog shit if it was all cgi like most movies around that time.

Just finished “talk to me” out of Australia, highly recommend.

The Maniac remake that Wood did was pretty good, but you need to watch the original if you haven’t already. Then watch Fulci’s “the New York Ripper”

I watched The Thing based on the recommendations of people here.
I gotta say, it’s not that great. Especially if you’ve seen Alien. The atmospheric elements in Alien are so much better and the story overall is very similar.
One person’s opinion, I guess.
A horror movie that I thought was actually scary the first time I saw it was White Noise. It hasn’t stayed scary on rewatching, but the first time definitely scared me.

Might have been too hyped up for you, but if you are using white noise as a benchmark and the “the thing” was meh, you might have a particular set of criteria that it’s be hard to pick for.
Alien is not that similar to the thing, imo. the thing is based on the novella “who goes there?” Which has a few other adaptations, I highly reccomend the x files episode “ice” if you haven’t seen it or don’t remember it, on Hulu if interested.
-
I finally tracked down White Noise and watched it.
Michael Keaton did a great job of acting and the overall mood was similar to some Asian horror movies (especially Pulse from Kiyoshi Kurosawa)
One scene in particular must have been directly influenced by Thai horror movie Shutter.
I didn’t know it was a remake so I’m still trying to hunt down a copy of the OG Maniac. Hope to watch it sometime.
Since it’s getting to be Christmas soon, does anyone have any holiday horror favorites? The original 1974 Black Christmas is a perennial watch for me.
-

There's an Australian movie called red christmas. It's not great but it has a pretty funny behind the scenes/making of little doco thing. There's also a little show about the same director trying to lose weight that has one scene which is one of the times I've laughed the hardest in my life.
Also gremlins. Not worth watching as a horror as an adult more watch to appreciate the movie making but great for a first horror movie if you have younger family

Thanks for the streaming suggestions but I prefer not to watch movies streaming since my ISP is quite awful and I wanted to make sure I was getting the remastered version they did for the Blu-ray. I managed to track it down so I’ll hopefully have time this weekend.

last week i watched House Of The Dead, didnt know it was considered one of the wost movies ever made. but damn did i enjoy it. the editing in this movie is insane. there a 10 minute zombie shootout that looks like it a fan made music edit rather than an actual scene in a movie.
on top of that they keep putting game footage in the movie. its so insane how someone would even think thats a good idea.
especially at 6:45, that shit should never have made the final cut, but i am glad it did.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXdoAqXtl0Q
last night i finally watched Braindead (aka Dead Alive). i knew about if for like 15 years, heard tons of samples in songs from it and all, but never watched it. easily the best movie i seen all year.
an was Saw X a while ago in cinema, i cant see why people rate this movie so high. people who can rate this movie high must have never liked saw to begin with as it breaks everything the franchise is.
